− | for i from k to 1

− | for j from 1 to i − 1

− | | |
− | for i from k+1 to 1
| |
− | for j from 1 to i − 1

− | Here, the inner loop (having counter j) just "bubbles out" the maximum element to the i-th position in the list.
| |
− | | |
− | So, in the first iteration with i = k+1 , on the completion of the inner loop, A[k+1] contains the maximum element of the list.
| |
− | | |
− | At this point, i = k and we are left with the task of sorting a k-element list which is already assumed to be performed correctly by the algorithm.
| |
− | | |
− | After the completion of all the iterations we have :
| |
− | | |
− | '''(i)''' A k-element sorted list (ascending order) :
| |
− | | |
− | A[1] < A[2] < A[3] <......... < A[k]
| |
− | | |
− | '''(ii)''' Also we have A[k+1] as the maximum element of the list. This implies A[k] < A[k+1]
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | From '''(i)''' and '''(ii)''' we get
| |
− | | |
− | A[1] < A[2] < A[3] <......... < A[k] < A[k+1]
| |
− | | |
− | which is a sorted list[1...(k+1)].
| |
− | | |
− | '''QED'''
